Siem Reap was a whole bunch of beautiful 🇰🇭 Siem Reap was a whole bunch of beautiful 🇰🇭 If you ever find yourself in this small, historic town, take a few days to slow down, meet some locals and learn their language and stories instead of hurrying off to your next destination. I could rant on about the art of slow travel and everything I got up to in Siem Reap - and in fact I did, on my blog - link in bio! Big shout-out to @villagelifewithpeng for the incredible local experience, stories and delicious Khmer meal, which was the highlight of my time in Cambodia and the lovely @lau02es for not gatekeeping this Siem Reap gem♥️ #SiemReap #TraveltoSiemReap #Cambodia #SoloTraveller #Solofemaletravel #Solotravel #siemreapcambodia #slowtravel #imperfecttraveller

Ta Prohm, a masterpiece where nature and architect Ta Prohm, a masterpiece where nature and architecture are locked in a timeless embrace, was undoubtedly one of my favourite temples in the Angkor Complex. The complete silence, except for bird song, the gentle lull of the trees guiding me around its little wonderland and the hum of ancient structures supported by steel poles left me in awe at its beauty and charm. Fun fact: this is more famously known as the Tomb Raider temple! #AngkorComplex #TaProhm #SiemReap #Cambodia #CambodiaTravel #Historictemples #architecture #nature
Is Phnom Penh worth visiting? Heck yes 🇰🇭 T Is Phnom Penh worth visiting? Heck yes 🇰🇭 This city has a dark, living history - a stark reminder that Western powers have been committing genocides and will continue to do so until they erase us from their books. Despite this, Cambodia is on its path to reintroduce the world to its culture. But it's not all gore - rooftop bars overlooking the Tonle Sap and Mekong River, cruises, overly friendly locals and delicious food makes this city incredibly special and a favourite.

So its history is vast and its cuisine is a fusion of its neighbours 🇭🇺 Hungary is now blue skies, good wines, and green landscapes with a murky lake that locals love to swim in - although I had my reservations cause it wasn't the Sri Lankan blue, but i guess brownish-green water is cool too. #Hungary #Buda #Pest #Budapest #HungaryTravel #budacastle #Balaton #LakeBalaton #LavendarTown #Tihany #ImperfectTraveller

A fish out of water and into wine from Piedmont 🌊🍷 Barolo is a prestigious Italian wine, hailed as the "King of Wines." Crafted from Nebbiolo grapes, it takes its name from the charming village of Barolo in Piedmont. This enchanting region, renowned for its winemaking heritage, has been bestowed with UNESCO World Heritage status. Have you had Barolo wines?
Over half of the world's coral reefs are suffering Over half of the world's coral reefs are suffering from bleaching due to rising sea temperatures. If these temperatures don't go down, we face the very real possibility of losing these vibrant ecosystems entirely. Having witnessed their beauty firsthand, it's heartbreaking to see the stark contrast. The once dazzling colours and teeming life have been replaced by a desolate expanse of bleached white. As @davidattenborough said, we must rewild the world. Our natural world has to come first, before anything else, we must protect it.

In the historic city of Ayutthaya, Thailand, lies In the historic city of Ayutthaya, Thailand, lies Wat Mahathat. Once a royal temple complex, but now a collection of ruins left behind after the Siam-Burmese war. There are two known theories of how the tree embraced the head of the statue. 1. Post war, a local thief attempted to run away with the statue, but couldn't jump over the temple walls with its weight. So he hid it in the tree but he never retrieved it. 2. During the war, the Burmese army, in attempting to break the Thai spirit, decapitated the heads of all statues in Ayutthaya. This is just one example. Nature however reclaimed it as her own masterpiece. 3. The official sign near the tree states the head of the statue simply rolled off. #Thailand #ayutthaya #watmahathat Which story do you believe?

They put on quite the performance for us and showed us 3 main ones: ✨Barrel feeding - this is when they somersault over each other ✨Cyclone feeding - yep, it's a cyclone of mantas ✨Line feeding - exactly as it is, they swim in a line. And yes, this is my new personality. I'm obsessed. 😻 Learn more about these beautiful creatures and manta season in the Maldives on my latest blog post!
